Germany

The Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) offers a wide range of physics education actvities for high school and university level physics students. The DPG also publishes studies and reports on physics education in Germany, such as the "Theses for a Modern Teacher's Education in Germany".

Italy

The Società Italiana di Fisica (SIF) organises event and grants that are of particular interest to university physics students and young scientists. These include grant programmes and summer schools at the International School of Physics (Varenna, IT).

United Kingdom

The Institute of Physics (IoP - UK) is very active in developing programmes for pre-university students and teachers as well as university physics students. The IoP also publishes on a regular basis guides and studies that provide information and advice for teachers and students at all levels. In 2011 for example, the IoP published "Moving on: The PhD Physics Student's Guide to employability".
